Because There is No Minute Quite Like the Last Minute

Yup. I wanted to make a card today. So I did. I saw this great inspiration photo over on the Runway Inspired Challenge blog a couple of weeks ago when it was originally posted and kept thinking...Ohhh, I'll just get to that later... well. It's later. HA! The challenge ends tonight and I really wanted to make something for it, so here it is, folks! Coming in at the very last minute..as is my wont.

LOVE the colors! And I also totally loved the bit of vintage feel combined with the strong, bright pink and modern lines of her outfit. So...with those things in mind, I came up with this cute card using the February Card kit from Simon Says Stamp!

I love how the subtle pink flecks in the patterned paper totally POPPED when I added the hot pink embossed dress! SO fun! The gold maintains the sleek, while working with the classic background paper to provide that vintage vibe at the same time.

And ... I kinda want that dress now. Can't you just see it? A hot pink bodice with the skirt piped in the same pink and a cream skirt with tan and light brown clouds in interesting patterns? TOTALLY fabulous! Just lose the peplum... my hips SO can't do peplum. Just sayin'. HA!

Oh my my! You are saving the best for the last! Glad that you made the entry! I adore the use of colors and Washi! That background is gorgeous! (I sure would love to hang out with ya!). Thank you so much for joining the fun with us at Runway Inspired Challenge!

Super cute!!! Love your card and I can definitely see where you got the inspiration from. BTW, I have the exact same washi tape in my collection. ;) just need to get a move on and use it! Hope you have a great weekend!

Such a cool card...and way to work under pressure! I am definitely the submit-to-challenges-last-minute type, so I can relate :) The layered tapes with pink buttons is so much fun! Thanks for joining us on the Runway!
